Time to stop crying about Luke not playing.
Yea be good to have him.They lost to wexford and Laois with him, Wicklow last year.
So be it. There's enough talent on the pitch to win today.

Replying To southmeathgael: "I was there, no they didnt, stop making stuff up. Lack of humility in victory just shows how winning isn't really something you are used too. We take it as a compliment when a team goes on like beating us is winning their all ireland. Hope you enjoyed the 2 week celebrations" Two more weeks now to celebrate and plan for final!!!

Replying To hootervillian: "How many All Irelands have you got. You win a game and you start spouting. The Kerrys, Galways, Corks and Dubs can talk but Westmeath really have very little to talk about." Lot more tonight than ye. What's Robbie B doing with the lads in the five weeks off!!!!!!

also the fact as far as im aware, getting to a leinster semi wouldnt have been the end to the year either, i think getting to a leinster semi gaurenteed an all ireland preliminary qtr final against a munster team...and who knows what could have happened. this could and should have been a journey where no westmeath minor team had gone before.
the more i think about it the more frustrated i get and disheartened....

Replying To if_in_doubt: "Fun while it lasted but normal service about to resume in Leinster with another easy title on the way for Dublin.
Meath must be kicking themselves." Very ungracious post. Westmeath better team. So you think Kildare would stop Dublin? They couldn't stop a clock.

Brilliant from Westmeath all over the park today especially in extra time when after being deflated with a last second point taking victory away from them -they powered on in extra time and were worthy winners.Huge support for Westmeath today which was great to see and great for the lads-roll on the 17th and a crack at the Dubs in Croker.

Replying To Tadhg2020: "Sure that was decided too.." Thats a decision that would need revisiting if we went back to a 5 team Leinster Championship. Not fair that any Munster county can have a poor year with no penalty for it, while no Leinster county can.
Relegation would add a layer of excitement to the Munster Championship also.

Trying to be positive and thinking we should have 3 good years at u20 with this group, just hoping we keep them all together. The plan should be for the vast majority of these lads to go on to hurl senior and hopefully be back in Leinster by then too.

Replying To M Lyster: "Down had to beat Donegal (1st in National League) then Armagh (6th in NL) to reach the Sam Maguire stage,
Meanwhile Kerry just had to beat Clare (24th in NL) to make it. Until this discrepancy is rectified we'll never have a truly level championship." But Kerry would have qualified anyway as 2nd in the League. The Clare game was irrelevant to the AI SFC, just like yesterdays Derry/Monaghan game was.
Plus if Down had stayed in Div 2. they wouldn't have had to worry about beating Donegal or Armagh.

To a man westmeath were outstanding today but I have to give special credit to the back three dillion, drumm and scahill outstanding. Defenders dont get much credit but the tackling and turn overs were brilliant. Brandon deservedly gets man of match and took the game to kildare. No doubt tge best team won today, well done mark mchugh and his management, what a turnaround in player belief in a year, roll on leinster.

Glad to see Kikdare beaten by WM
Congrats to them reaching the Leinster final
All credit, they had to come the harder route beating Meath and now Kildare on the way. I don't see why they'd be overly fearful of this current Dubs team. Yes, they are a decent team but are no world beaters.
Only my take on it, but I see a hard fought final ahead. I hope Dublin will have 2 or 3 players return in time for it, even to be available from the bench would add a lot.

Replying To BarneyGrant: "Fancied Westmeath today and will be trícky opponent. They have their off days but are in good vein of form and have that unpredictable element and ability to get goals at key times that will test Dublin." I didnt expect Kildare to bring them to ET today tbh but Westmeath prevailed well in the end.
They will bring big numbers and colour to the Leinster Final, in what will be only their 6th ever Leinster Senior Football Final.
Looking forward to a cracking game, hopefully.

Replying To Fionn: "I agree - massive hunger by the Dubs yesterday.
Huge desire to qualify to a Leinster Final, after not making it to one last year.
We need to build on this now though." Fancied Westmeath today and will be trícky opponent. They have their off days but are in good vein of form and have that unpredictable element and ability to get goals at key times that will test Dublin.

Replying To Ulsterchamps72: "I thought Down were brilliant last week but the issue of a one week turnaround was just too much. Two or three sessions was never going to be enough to implement a plan to nullify Armagh. The provincials look very unfair this evening for them." Yeah Down started well first 10 or 15 minutes but once the first Armagh goal went in it was game over as the players looked totally drained and flat. It was a very heavy, demoralising defeat but hopefully Down pick themselves up for the Taillteann Cup.
The flaw in the system is rewarding provincial finalists with an All Ireland place it probably should be just the winners. Those are the rules though. Good luck to Westmeath they have showed time and again they can compete with the best and great win today.
